The creature was spotted on St Martin’s in the Isles of Scilly, off Cornwall.
“It was making the most of the empty beaches before summer returns,” said Brendan.
“We have a healthy seal population around the islands and they are a common sight.
“This particular beach is not used by the seals in the summer but will use it to rest in the winter months when it is mostly empty.”
People online have fallen in love with the seal who became an unexpected supermodel, as reported by What’s The Jam.
